5d SCFT fixtures

Michele Del Zotto, Andrea Sangiovanni

In the context of the atomic classification of 5d SCFTs building blocks with non-simply laced global symmetries are lacking. In this work we fill this gap by introducing a new clas…

5d Higgs Branches: Stratifications from Geometry

Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius Grimminger +1

Higgs Branches of 5d SCFTs are hyperkähler cones, symplectic varieties with interesting nested singularities governing the structure of possible Higgs branch RG flows. The main pur…

5d Trinions and Tetraons

Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Michele Graffeo +1

Recently, an atomic classification scheme of 5d SCFTs has been proposed, relying on the identification of indecomposable building blocks that can be fused together to produce large…

From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter

Antoine Bourget, Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto +2

We show that all 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) special unitary quivers with no Chern-Simons level admit a UV completion which is a 5d conformal matter SCFT. We give explicit local Calab…

Remarks on the Higgs Branch of 5d Conformal Matter

Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius F. Grimminger +1

Among the elementary building blocks in the atomic classification of 5d SCFTs there are 5d bifundamental conformal matter theories of various kinds. In this work we study the Higgs…

M-theory geometric engineering for rank-0 3d theories

Andrea Sangiovanni, Roberto Valandro

M-theory geometric engineering on non-compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds (CY4) produces 3d theories with 4 supercharges. Carefully establishing a dictionary between the geometry of the C…
